I think a fellow pro can bring a criminal suit against him because of the nature of the attack, GBH or ABH.

would the same not apply to every headbutt/elbow/stamp that has gone on on a football pitch

headbutt yes but elbows and stamps are too difficult to prove.

A bite is not a normal reaction!

I don't think there worse thing in the world than someone digging those gooffy teeth in your flesh, ever heard of Ebola, Mad Cow disease, AIDS, Rabbies etc etc, you are categorising headbutts to dangerous vile maneater psychopath.

Chelsea and Italy play in blue. Maybe hes just got a mental condition where blue makes him hungry. We should ban blue shirts when playing against him.

Don't know Brazilian law, but I'm pretty convinced Ivanovic could easily have taken Suarez to court both through criminal and tort procedures.

If something can be said to be in the course of the sport, like a reckless tackle etc, that falls under the implied consent given in sport. Biting is fighting, which is not covered.

But I cannot think of a party that would genuinely prefer for our judicial system to handle such a matter instead of the relevant governing sporting body.

ever heard of Mad Cow disease
===============================
Yes.
You seem to displaying the early symptoms, so it may well be an idea to consult your doctor as soon as possible.

I used to thik the OP was a teenage kid, but don't give him that much credit now. Isnt there an age limit on here? He should be banned for acting worse than my 5 year old son.

Sued for what exactly?!

Has Chiellini somehow been hit financially because of this?! Ridiculous article!

Giroulski has it pretty much spot on. Ivanovic at least would have a case, and I'd imagine Brazilian law would probably take a roughly similar approach, but suing wouldn't get either bite victim anything substantial since there was no lasting damage, and a prosecution would be unlikely until FIFA have dealt with the matter - and even only then if the conduct was sufficiently criminal to warrant it - which is perhaps unlikely here, as deplorable as Suarez's actions have been.

Uruguayan press are saying Chiellini smashed Suarez in the face with his elbow. They're getting ready to sue on the grounds that they have no idea what they're talking about. You should join forces. Oh.

. I still believe if one of those two victims realised that it is vital they send some kind of a precedent by suing in order to put a stop to the nasty dangerous habits otherwise he will continue unabated and maybe one day someone will get beaten in the you know what

----------------------------------------------

My reasons were more along the lines of:
1- The courts won't want to open the floodgates on a new area of law.
2- The player won't want to go through lengthy court proceedings for relatively little money (for them) while opening themselves up to abuse.
3- The player's club won't encourage a player to sue when it could open up their own players to judicial proceedings.
4- The relevant sporting bodies will want to retain their governance over what happens on a football pitch.

It's certainly criminal enough. I've studied enough cases on far more trivial matters.

Giroulski. Just curiosity, are you in legal service am still doing my LPC. no guarantees and I have LLM.

posted on 25/6/14

Nah, just finished my second year of my LLB.

Just I find the majority criminal law to be really simple. At least the parts I paid attention to/showed up to.

Human Rights is actually relatively challenging.

What are would you want to go into or are you just going to work where you can?

You are doing great I can see you have great future do work hard. I have decided to practice and that is probably abroad because lets be honest, England is going to the woods, joke aside, am hoping to work in commercial law particularly, employment law and some taxation if possible, wish me luck I need it.

posted on 25/6/14

My biggest issue is working hard. I'm a naturally lazy sort of guy. I'm fine in jobs, it's homework that I can't do hah.

I want to work in France for the limited working week. It's one of the only countries I could practice law in and still have some semblance of a life.
